    They used to sow westerwolds after grain back when the NZ fad was around and get a couple of grazings off it during the winter with dry dairy cows.

    It seems to be very unpalatable. You might get one grazing off it the first time they are out in spring. OP what way are you thinking of sowing it?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
